/// Of her beauty, sweet Alma is proud.
On the Promenade, she’ll draw a crowd.
Yet she has little hope
on this side of that rope
with its sign: “Notice. No men allowed.”
/// At the beach, genders cannot roam free;
separate sections are marked “He” and “She.”
Alma stares out to sea,
but her instincts agree
“That cute bearded man’s looking at me.”
/// When young men see a lady who’s fine,
and to mingle she doesn’t decline,
I don’t care what you’ve heard,
they will not be deterred
by some notice they read on a sign.
/// Her red parasol rests in her lap
so her face can be seen by this chap.
After waiting a while
she’ll turn toward him and smile
at the man for whom she’s set her cap.
/// Flirting is both a science and art.
Alma’s quite good at playing her part.
When she does meet this man,
he will think it his plan.
Men are fools in affairs of the heart.
